It’s know threat to are democracy, IMO.
- Der Kaiser

I don't know about that are parties are so divided, there to busy trying to bend each other over, to actually care about Democracy. And if Biden actually cared about Democracy and thought he could actually win outright he would have picked a better Vice President

Yea pretty much.

The “looney” is about to gain a lot of ground against the $USD anyways.

But nice chat.

- Pegullaville


Assuming you’re right, your money will be worth $US0.72 instead of $US0.68.

Congratulations.

Nice chat.

How should we take this response 36?

What's scary?

Just thinking aloud again?

When the world shifts to digital currencies and gold, silver, and Crypto’s are 3-5x their current values, when fiat currencies inevitably fail like every other time in history, will you be able to keep up Grandpa ?

One of my businesses owns a former paper mill in NY’s north country. We spent a lot of dough converting it to hydrogeneration to take it off the grid - it’s easier to keep cool up there anyway. All our tenants are cryptominers, but times are tougher since the last halving in May.

How you like me now?

Are you hiring? I have a BS in bs, an MS in something else, can cook a mean peking duck, and know at least five different knots useful in fishing. I'm into skinny-skiing and going to bullfights on acid.

PM me if so plz

Why would you rely on man-made chemicals when nature offers us peyote?

We just own property so no need to hire but we pay finders fees and commissions to independent contractors.

Well unless you live in Texas or have 3 to 5 years to let in bloom, it isn't readily available unless you take a lot of trips.

I believe I read it was 14 cases out of 4 billion. It amazes me how people just make poop up and pass it as facts.

One could argue that the reefer out there these days owes more to man than to nature, but I totally get your point. I'd choose shrooms over acid every time if it were available. Last time I saw that fungus was at a Beasty Boys show in Canada sometime in the previous millenium.

Troy From Burlington, this one's for you, man.

Yes, I didn’t include normal absentee ballots. Someone with pre existing condition....counts as a medical exemption to me. The next three are issues that many, if not most would have to deal with to make it to vote. I guess one could argue that they indicate that one feels voting is important, as long as it’s not too inconvenient. But, I’m not here to argue, or to say mail in voting should be verboten. It’s never a bad thing to have high voter turnout. If you trust voting by mail, then go for it. I just stated my opinion that I would have trouble trusting it and will always prefer to vote in person. To each, his own. Your last paragraph, if not meant to be a general statement, makes quite the far reaching assumptions/ judgements off of a simple statement of my personal opinion on voting.

Your opinion isn't a fact. Fact is, mail in voting is perfectly fine. Sorry it hurts your feelings about your opinions on such matters.

3. Jeff Skinner, BUF
Contract: $9M x seven years
Surplus Value: -$43.7M
Positive Value Probability: 1.9 percent

This is a tough one to stomach for Sabres fan. The team has been spurned by free agents in the past and Jeff Skinner looked truly electric in his walk year, scoring 40 goals next to Jack Eichel. They had to keep him, and they did! Finally! At the time, my model viewed it as a slight overpay, placing him closer to an $8 million player over the life of the deal, but when a team loses out on players often they have to take what they can get. The contract was projected to provide positive value about 40 percent of the time. Not great, but not bad.

And then the 2019-20 season happened.

I can’t recall a player falling off quite as fast and as hard as Skinner and it brings up questions about his usage over those two seasons. The biggest issue: Why would Buffalo play him exclusively with Eichel before free agency, propping up his value, only to not play him there at all the following season once he got paid? As the old adage goes … buy high, sell low or something …

Skinner went from a 40-goal scorer with limited defence to a guy who scored 14 in 59 games, played at a 32-point pace and still couldn’t play defence. It was rough to watch as the team’s $9 million per year investment went up in flames in the very first year. Part of that is on his surroundings as Buffalo didn’t exactly have anyone to play with him that wasn’t Eichel. That changes this year with the addition of Eric Staal, but it’s still difficult to see Skinner getting back to the level his contract expects of him.

A $9 million player over seven years averages 2.4 wins per season and while he was at three wins in 2018-19, he dropped all the way to a 0.2-win pace. Skinner is currently projected to provide one win next season, maybe more if he gets top power play time (which I doubt with the addition of Taylor Hall), but that’s still well off from where he needs to be to earn his deal.


Wow 3rd most overrated in the nhl according to the athletic.

From what i recall,
most (if not all) of the anti-Skinner ppl here were more against the contract than the player

I think most agree he’s likely to bounce back if he’s playing with a decent Center this year (and moving forward)
